Just a quick post while I'm on my lunch break. =)

Liam glanced at her questioningly. He had never thought of riding horses like some of his pack-mates did, let alone actually eating them. “You've eaten a horse before?” he asked the wolf-coyote hybrid. Perhaps they were indeed tasty, but Liam had known horses as means of entertainment or transportation, surely not food. “Here at the court the horses are used as transportation or for carrying stuff.” Liam informed her, replying to her question. He wasn't sure how things worked where she was from, but Liam knew from experience that things varied from pack to pack – culture, dialects, ways of life... Down south most packs were quite similar but even then the Court, Crimson Dreams, Aniwaya... they were all quite different.
Liam followed Terra's lead, hopping from his position in the tree so that he landed stiffly on the earth below. His legs pained him slightly but he managed to keep his balance and stood straight again. Liam watched her shift, keeping his distance from her while she did so. He himself stayed in his Optime form, finding it much more convenient. He remembered when he was a younger pup, the first times he'd been in his Optime form. He had been so wobbly and clumsy, having a hard time with his legs and humanoid hands. Now it was him. Optime was by far his favorite form.
Liam nodded towards the general direction of the stables before he began to walk in that same direction. “They're this way – Where are you staying anyway?” Liam inquired. He knew some lived at Chien Hotel while others, like his own family, had homes and dens all around the territory. Indeed packs varied, but it was interesting to see different ways of life even within pack boundaries. It was all so fascinating!
